Promote the FDLP at Your Library with the Easy As FDL Video
Monday, 03 November 2008
Using our theme, "Easy As FDL: Free Information, Dedicated Service, and Limitless Possibilities",
this video demonstrates what makes Federal depository libraries so
unique and essential to the American public. People who are dedicated
to and knowlegeable about the FDLP were interviewed and asked to express
thier opinions about Federal depository libraries and how the FDLP benefits the American public.
This video is available for you to distribute as you
choose. Post it to your library’s Web site, various social media sites,
social networking sites, or in your presentations. You may also
ask local government offices and educational institutions to place it
on their Web sites.
This is the first of several upcoming FDLP promotional videos. GPO will be using this and subsequent videos in staff presentations and for distribution. It is a highly effective tool when used in conjunction with the new marketing plan in our efforts to promote the FDLP.
GPO wishes to thank the stars of the first video for their participation:
When the download is complete, you will need to unzip the package. (For windows, double click on downloaded package, then click on "extract all". For Mac, control-click on downloaded package, navigate to "open with" in the contextual menu, then click on "Disk Utility.app".)
Upload the "easyasfdl" folder to your web server (the file and folder names will be slightly different depending on which resolution you decided to download).
In order for the video to function properly, all three files must be kept together in the same folder. Example HTML code is provided in the readme.txt file.
GPO has begun to create separate item numbers for the online only (EL) format of the U.S.
Congressional Committee Hearings and Prints and related miscellaneous
publications, known as "Y 4's". Read more.
On October 1, LSCM adopted the use of the separate cataloging approach. Now the CGP will have a unique bibliographic record for each format of a document with links to all formats identified by LSCM catalogers. For more information about this new practice, read more.

Recently, GPO launched closed beta testing for the FDLP Community site. Based on the feedback received, we have implemented modifications and are ready for the next phase of testing.
